I
was
guilted
into
taking
down
this
review.
But
after
seeing
the
endless
efforts
to
continue
to
guilt
and
pressure
me
into
taking
down
my
review
on
booking
as
well,
I
decided
to
post
my
review.
We
review
to
give
honest
feedback
from
genuine
experiences
to
help
guide
others
into
not
making
the
same
mistakes
or
encouraging
others
to
proceed
when
hesitant
following
good
experiences.
Otherwise
what’s
the
point.
And
as
a
business
owner
you
should
always
strive
to
improve
yourself
not
to
pressure
your
guests
into
leaving
false
feedback.
This
is
a
small
family
run
business.
A
very
kind
and
hospitable
family.
They
truly
welcome
guests
with
smiles,
kindness
and
good
service.
But
hotel
stays
are
much
more
than
a
warm
welcome.
The
hotel
is
quite
rundown,
in
need
of
a
full
renovation.
The
room
furniture
is
falling
apart
with
stains
and
cuts
in
the
fabric.
The
mattress
we
had
was
basically
a
thin
piece
of
foam
over
a
piece
of
wood.
They
were
kind
enough
to
move
us
to
a
room
with
a
spotter
spring
mattress
but
not
all
rooms
are
equipped
with
such.
There
is
very
poor
soundproofing
leaving
the
noise
of
the
busy
traffic
to
easily
come
through.
I
was
shocked
to
have
this
experience
and
first
impressions
after
getting
into
the
room.
It
only
occurred
to
me
after
leaving
the
hotel
and
posting
an
honest
review
that
the
reason
they
have
5/5
reviews
is
bc
people
are
pressured
to
change
or
remove
bad
reviews.
The
guilt
campagne
started
within
hours
of
my
review
positing.
I
received
WhatsApp
messages
from
the
property
mentioning
that
their
family
relies
on
this
business,
that
they’re
in
over
their
head
essentially
and
that
a
bad
review
could
ruin
them.
I
was
told
that
no
guests
are
booking
anymore
and
even
received
photos
of
their
family
and
pregnant
wife
to
sway
me.
It
went
against
all
my
morals
but
as
a
husband
and
a
father
I
fell
right
into
it.
I
do
sincerely
wish
this
family
all
the
best.
But
this
is
not
a
way
to
run
a
business.
Take
your
efforts
into
improving,
misleading
your
guests
and
guilting
people
is
not
a
business
strategy
that
I
support.
And
as
far
as
charity
is
concerned,
people
should
have
a
right
on
how
they
choose
to
be
charitable
and
to
whom,
no
one
should
be
pressured
like
this.
As
world
traveling
bloggers,
we
made
it
our
mission
to
be
honest
about
our
experiences.
I
remain
committed
to
that
promise.
